With 100W of power pumped through two 4" woofers and two 1" tweeters, the iP1 uses a Digital Power Station from Bongiovi Acoustic, supposedly making it iHome's most advanced speaker system ever.
“We are eager to debut one of our most robust home product lineups to date,” said iHome VP Evan Stein on the companies CES lineup. “We are especially excited at the prospects for our most compelling product to date, the iP1 home audio system which represents the cutting-edge in both digital audio reproduction and industrial design.”

The Group 1 transmitter, while tailored for Apple products (including Mac computers and Apple TV), can handle USB or auxilary-friendly devices. The Group 2 receiver is an amplifier that can connect to whatever your choice of third party speakers are, while the Group 3 receiver takes the amplifier and adds a small 2.1 audio solution.
Eos claims that its Converge system is "truly plug and play without any mind bending setup." Each component of the Converge system is $89.95, and should hit retailers sometime in March.
